Tune Into Your Honda Accord

Is it tune-up time?
If you usually wait until your car has an issue to take it in for service,
it might be time to change your ways,
especially if you want your 2005 Honda Accord’s engine to last for a long time.
Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Accord.
Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run efficiently,
so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions.
When you follow the guidelines specified by Honda for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule,
you invest in your Accord's long-term health and engine performance.

Engine Tune-Up for Honda Accord

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Honda Accord engine tune-up services.
The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up.
It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*.
Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Accord. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter.
Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Accord.
This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance).
Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Accord can determine what kind of service it needs.
A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist.
Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

Questions About 2005 Honda Accord Engine Tune-Ups

What happens if my Honda Accord spark plugs fail?
Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Honda Accord?
Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.

What do hard starts and stops do to my Accord engine?
Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.
